I write content in VSC and I use handlebars to write content.
{{#jan}} Hello my name is Tony {{else}} Hi my name is Bob {{/if}}
Is there any way I can get the content inside the {{}} to highlight something like bright yellow? when I have loads of these in the docs, its hard to spot them when scrolling.
I've tried messing around with the workspace settings.js file but have had no luck. Thanks
The title of your question asks how to change the color of the brackets themselves, while the body asks for how to change the content in the middle.
here's a solution for the title part: the extension bracket pair colorizer will give you full control over curly brace colors. by default, it colors nested braces differently, but as per its documentation, you can configure it however you want. so if you choose only one brace color, they can both be yellow or whatever color you want

My team wants to highlight a certain word by using a yellow background, as a reminder that this value needs to be edited manually.
Desired result:
I try to make this happen (inspired by this answer). I format a line of text in my reference text as Times New roman with font size 12, with bold text and a yellow background. I then save the format as a "character"-type style and I save it under "boldyellow" in order to avoid underscores.
In my r markdown document I write:
<span custom-style=“boldyellow”>SKRIV IN ANTAL</span> av **21** regioner moretext moretext.
With no obvious result:
Am I missing one or more steps I haven't tought of? Is this possible at all using this method?
When I place my cursor on the extremity of a block (represented by the white drawn cursor on the picture below) VSC highlight both the ending and the starting symbol of that block.
The red line on the picture represent the starting and the ending of that block. Where can I set the option for VSC to automatically use a background color to highlight the current selected block ? (I am really more of a visual guy and I like to feel where's my current locations when I am coding.)
You are going to need an extension to do that, it isn't built-in. Try:
Indented Block Highlighting
I am not sure it supports all languages but see if it works in your case.
Bracket-pair-colorizer does something similar but more subtle. See "bracket-pair-colorizer-2.showHorizontalScopeLine".
.
And see How to change indent guide line color between brackets in VSCODE? - perhaps highlighting the active indent guide will be enough for you?
Using (in your settings.json):
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"editorIndentGuide.background": "#bbb",
"editorIndentGuide.activeBackground": "#f00e0e",\
}
I'm working on an extension which colors some text within the editor based on some condition. Unfortunately, it looks like the style applied to the text is also applied to the whitespace characters when the user has editor.renderWhitespace enabled.
I can't find anything in the API which gives the option of ignoring the whitespace when coloring.
Does anyone know of a way to leave the color of the whitespace characters intact?
There is a setting to change the color and opacity of whitespace characters when made visible as discussed here. It says that you could use:
"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
"editorWhitespace.foreground": "#FF0000"
}
The colors for the whitespace is taken from the invisibles property in themes, so the color is customizable via themes.
<key>invisibles</key>
<string>#3B3A32</string>

In Visio 2013, I have a connector that is in a container that has a gray background color. I successfully changed the background color of the text block by following these steps:
Double-click the connector
Expand the font options by clicking on the icon in the lower-right portion of the 'Home > Font' ribbon area
Click on 'Text Block' tab in the 'Text' dialog
Select 'Solid color' and choose the background color that matches the gray container background color
That works as expected - my text background color is no longer the default white; it now matches the background color of the container.
However, I want to add spacing to the left and right of the text. I tried increasing the margins in the same 'Text Block' tab of the 'Text' dialog mentioned above. This increased the margins but did not extend the background color of the text. A also tried manually adding spaces to the left and right of the text. The leading spaces worked, but the trailing spaces where truncated. Is there any way to add left and right padding to the text (similar to css padding)?
Modifying the text block location/size may give you what you want, combined with text margins.
To modify the text block location, you have to click the text block tool, which is on a dropdown with the text tool (at least in Visio 2003).
I know this is an old question, but I had the same question myself and wasn't able to (quickly) find an answer out there either. I finally hit upon a trick that'll get the result we're looking for:
Instead of spaces, add leading and trailing characters to the longest line in the text box. (I use ".")
Change the color of ONLY those added characters so it matches the text box's background.
The text box's background reaches to the furthest edge of the text within, and we're just using that to get what we want. Since it's just moving the edge indirectly, I consider it a "trick" that we can use instead of a "fix".
Quick list of Cons:
The text box background color has to be solid, or close to it.
The "invisible" text will still exist, so it'll show up in a copy/paste of the text.
Similarly, it may make Searching/CTRL+F for things within the document/file more difficult.
You can use No-Break Space. Insert it from Insert > Symbol.
Is there any way to make Eclipse set the color of the line beginning with some expression to a specified value?
In my code I got lots of working "Log" calls which I want to save until any production-like version occurs, but they make it hard to read the code. So I need theses calls (lines, or it would be better if it would be full construction until ";") to be displayed in some other color, like light gray.
You could add a Task Tag, like "TODO", but use "log." or something like that. And the task tag lines appear in a user-specified color.
